Re: Agar of Argentina

William, Thanks for your reply.It was really the combination of the names of Agar and Ferguson that pricked up my ears.IfRP Agar was your grandfather then I guess that means that there never was a Agar/Ferguson marriage in your family?The man James Agar Senior Ferguson that I am looking for was the son of John Tait Ferguson and his wife Elizabeth Agar, both originally from Glasgow but as mentioned in the article they went to Argentina, in about 1895 I think.Elizabeth's family was already in Argentina so there were many Agar's already there when they arrived.The Agars ran a windmill manufacturing and spareparts business which thrived.The founder of the company was Thomas Forrester Agar of Partick Glasgow who was living there with his wife Clara in 1891 census.This was one of Elizabeth's brothers and so was uncle to James Ferguson.His company was called Agar Cross Co of Vincent St Glasgow and of Argintina. Thomas was also Argentinian ambassor in Glasgow at one time. Thomas's many brothers ran the company and it was them that the Fergusons went over to join, Elizabeth being their sister.The artist Eileen Agar was one of the many Agar cousins who grew up in Argentina.If any of this rings a bell with you or any lister I would be pleased to hear from you.Kae Lewis
